What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study explored the relationship between susceptibility to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in a population exposed to occupational noise.
methodsWorkers exposed to noise in a steel enterprise in Henan Province were included in the study. Workers with a hearing threshold of ≥40 dB (A) for binaural high-frequency (3000, 4000, and 6000 Hz) in the pure tone audiometry were included in the case group (393 workers in total). Individuals whose hearing threshold for any frequency (500, 1000, and 2000 Hz) was ≤25 dB (A) and an average hearing threshold of <35 dB (A) for high frequencies were included in the control group (731 individuals in total). A SNPscan multiple SNP typing kit was used for SNP typing, and PLINK software was used in analyzing the correlation between each gene locus and NIHL susceptibility. Cumulative noise exposure (CNE) was stratified as CNE < 97 dB (A) · year and CNE ≥ 97 dB (A) · year.
resultsRegarding rs11204100, compared with subjects with the TT genotype, subjects with the TC+CC genotype were less susceptible to NIHL (odds ratio [OR] [95% CI] = 0.712 [0.554, 0.913], P = 0.009). After CNE stratification, subjects with the TC+CC genotype were less susceptible to NIHL than those with the TT genotype in the CNE ≥97 dB (A) · year group (OR [95% CI] = 0.614 [0.433, 0.871], P = 0.007). As for the rs10503675, subjects with the AG+GG genotype were less susceptible to NIHL than subjects with the AA genotype (OR [95% CI] = 0.797 [0.541, 0.925], P = 0.011) in the general population. Haplotype results showed that CGT (rs11204100-rs10503675-rs17412009) is associated with lowered susceptibility to NIHL.
conclusionThe ATP6V1B2 gene plays an important role in the risk of NIHL, and the C allele of rs11204100 and G allele of rs10503675 are associated with lowered susceptibility to NIHL.
